Chapter 166 Rejection of Marriage (2)

Concubine Chen smiled and looked at Jiang Ruan: "I don't know if such a well-behaved child is so lucky to let her be my daughter-in-law."

Silence, the silence of the seat.

Jiang Susu's face turned pale when she heard Concubine Chen say this, even her lips were white. She was shaking and almost leaning back. Fortunately, Xia Yan was holding it quietly, otherwise something would have to happen.

The Zhao family's face also narrowed. What does Concubine Chen mean?

"The beloved concubine means..." the emperor asked.

"Xiao Baru is now getting married this year, but Miss Jiang is still young and can book it first. After she is in the palace, she will go to Xiao Ba Mansion to be the mistress and Xiao Ba's concubine."

If it was still silent just now, I could only hear everyone's breath of cold air.

He was actually the official concubine.

Although Jiang Quan's status is not low, Jiang Ruan is still a little arrogant as the Eighth Prince's Consort. If the concubine is still the same, everyone thought that she wanted Jiang Ruan to be the concubine in the past, but she knew that she wanted Jiang Ruan to be the official concubine at the moment. Now anyone with some eyes knows that the Eighth Prince might be the crown prince in the future and the future emperor of the Dajin Dynasty. Wouldn't Jiang Ruan become the queen? This is a huge profit.

Jiang Quan's expression was complicated. He had always wanted to win over the relationship with Xuan Li. In order to maintain the relationship more stable, it would be best to marry a daughter. Now, Concubine Chen told his secret wish in his heart with one word, so he naturally couldn't get it. But how could that person be Jiang Ruan? Why wasn't Jiang Susu?

Jiang Xinzhi clenched his fists hard. He did not expect that his kindness would turn into the current situation. Although he was not optimistic about Xiao Shao, he did not like Xuan Li even more. Xuan Li was a member of the Tian family, what was the Tian family, with a large number of wives and concubines, and intrigues in the backyard was more dangerous than the court. How could he let Jiang Ruan go to such a place? Why did Concubine Chen pull Jiang Ruan into the water? Wouldn't it be better if Jiang Susu was? Jiang Quan was happy. Why was it Jiang Ruan the best of both worlds? Jiang Xinzhi made up his mind that if the emperor agreed, even if he fought for his merits and resisted the order, he would have to replace Jiang Ruan with a free agent.

Xiao Shao frowned when he heard Concubine Chen's request, and his beautiful eyes were filled with a cold luster, just like the best black gem. However, his long eyelashes lowered down to cover the emotions in his eyes, and his temperament became even colder.

He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan lowered his head slightly, unable to see clearly. Xiao Shao's heart moved. No matter what Jiang Ruan said, he was only an eleven-year-old girl. She hated Xuan Li so much, although she didn't know why, she would definitely not be willing to marry Xuan Li. Concubine Chen was favored in front of the emperor. If the emperor agreed, Jiang Ruan would never resist the order.

He frowned with a heroic brow, but in fact he was not completely helpless. If he came forward to the emperor, he wanted to marry Jiang Ruan, he would avoid Jiang Ruan's fate of marrying Xuanli. However, Jiang Ruan might not want to marry him. Xiao Shao took over the Jinyiwei and walked outside for many years, and was also infected with some habits in the world. But he also understood the rules of disciples from the middle-aged families of Beijing. He understood what marriage means to women. With his temperament, he will not be considered a marriage in this life. Jiang Ruan is his life savior. Even if the life savior is only eleven years old, if she is in danger, Xiao Shao will definitely abide by her original oath and help.

Just because he changed from the Eighth Prince's Mansion to the Jinying Mansion, is Jiang Ruan really willing?

Concubine Shu suddenly laughed out loud: "Why are you trying to make a random match between you? Not to mention whether Your Highness Eighth Highness knows this, but Miss Jiang in front of you is also the daughter of Shangshu Jiang. Why don't your sister ask if Miss Jiang is willing to marry Your Highness Eighth Highness?"

As he faced tit-for-tat, Concubine Chen did not frown, but turned to look at Jiang Ruan, and her tone became softer and more amiable: "I forgot, Miss Jiang, do you look down on my Xiao Ba?"

This question was kind and playful, as if it was a joke from an ordinary woman from an ordinary family, Jiang Ruan sneered silently in her heart. Concubine Chen’s words were so good. What could she say? It was hard to say. She looked down on Xuan Li there. Not to mention that she would be the first to refuse her in front of so many people. But if she liked it, wouldn’t she jump into the fire pit?

Everyone held their breath and waited to listen to Jiang Ruan's answer. The female relatives were naturally indignant. Among the male relatives, Gu Yi and Jiang Xinzhi wanted to rush up and take Jiang Ruan away from this place of right and wrong. Dong Ying'er and Zhao Jin all secretly worried about Jiang Ruan. For them, they naturally knew that Jiang Ruan had never been intent to marry into the Tian family. Zhao Guang's heart was shocked, and he recognized that his granddaughter would be involved in this battle for the throne so soon. For the first time, Zhao Guang felt incompetent. He did not dare to block the entire general's mansion to help Jiang Ruan resist the order. Even at this moment, his heart was bleeding. Following his wife, Li, on the mattress, almost smashed the handkerchief in his hand, and his eyes were full of pain.

Jiang Ruan seemed very embarrassed, but did not immediately answer: "This..."

Her head lowered deeper, but she was counting quietly in her heart.

Concubine Chen smiled even deeper: "It's such a shy child. Your Majesty, I think this is an excellent marriage. I wonder if the emperor is willing to be a Yue Lao? Find someone who is so cute for Xiao Ba."

The emperor looked at him with a relaxed look, but he didn't want to stop him.

Xiao Shao looked deserted. After thinking about it, he pressed the teacup with one hand and stood up to ask the emperor for marriage. Who knew that he was about to get up, and a cold voice came: "The Ai family doesn't want to."

Jiang Ruan counted to three in his heart. He heard this and smiled, slowly raised his head, and followed the man's tone and said firmly: "Return to the words of the Imperial Concubine, Ruan Niang doesn't want to."

The first person to refuse was Queen Mother Yide.

Xuan Li, who had always been out of the matter, paused his face, and the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth stiffened for a moment. The rest of the people were puzzled, but Jiang Xinzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Even if Empress Dowager Yide spoke, the emperor would not easily refute it. Even if Concubine Chen was favored, the emperor would never disobey the Queen Mother Yide's intention for her.

Concubine Chen has always been smooth sailing in the palace, and she has no conflicts of interest with Empress Dowager Yide on weekdays. In addition, she has a very good reputation in the palace, and everyone loves her. Empress Dowager Yide is not close to her concubines except the queen, so she has always been in peace. Who knows that today, this most noble woman in the Dajin Dynasty refuted her suggestions mercilessly in front of all the civil and military officials and their families. If Empress Dowager Yide would forget it, Jiang Ruan actually refused. What was going on?
